Maltese

The Maltese is a charming and elegant toy dog breed known for its silky, white coat and big, dark eyes. Originating from the Mediterranean region, specifically Malta, this breed has a long history of being cherished for its gentle and affectionate nature. Maltese dogs are playful, curious, and energetic, yet they do not require extensive exercise, making them suitable for apartment living. They are extremely devoted to their owners and thrive on companionship, often becoming close bonds with their families. Despite their small size, Maltese dogs are alert and fearless, sometimes displaying watchdog tendencies. They require regular grooming to prevent matting and enjoy learning tricks, making them delightful companions when properly trained and cared for.
